I know this problem might be a silly problem for u guys but I really need to decrease the Cursor sensitivity because it's annoying .

Answer 1

I don't think you need to compile and install this yourself as it appears to already be in the AUR. You should download an AUR helper and use it to install gpointing-device-settings.
Example using packer:
sudo pacman -S wget # wget is for downloading packer, you can download it manually if you'd like
mkdir ~/builds # Where you want to put packer's files, change if you'd like
cd ~/builds
wget http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pa/packer/packer.tar.gz
makepkg -s # Make sure you have the base-devel group installed
sudo pacman -U packer
packer -S gpointing-device-settings
If this solves the problem, remember to edit your original post and add [Solved] to the beginning of the title.
